Yugoslav First League 1990-91

The Yugoslav First Federal League's [ [http://www.nk-maksimir.hr/prosle_sezone/1990-91_zagrebacka_zona.htm 1990/91] hr icon] 1990/1991 season was the last in which teams from Croatia and Slovenia participated. In 1991 these republics declared their independence from Yugoslavia. Soon after, the Prva HNL and the Slovenian First League were formed.

The season featured a huge ethnically motivated incident during a Hajduk Split vs. FK Partizan tie on September 26, 1990, when a mob of hardcore Hajduk fans invaded the pitch in the middle of the match in an attempt to lynch the Partizan players. All of the Partizan players ran for their lives into the dressing room, thus escaping unharmed. While chanting anti-Serb slogans, the violent mob then set fire to the Yugoslav flag that was displayed on the stadium's official mast. They then proceeded to raise the Croatian chequerboard flag (at the time not in official use and thus considered a Croatian nationalist symbol). Partizan was leading 2-0 at the time of the incident. The match was never resumed, and eventually registered 3-0 in Partizan's favour.
